Monogram Saddle Plates and Bridle Plate

We only recommend having an experience saddle shop or cobbler attach your saddle plate and bridle plate.

If you choose to attach yourself, use painters tape to cover monogram and prevent damage during installation. Place Saddle Plate in position and mark center of hole. Use and awl or similar tool to make a small starter hole. Place Saddle Plate in place. Using a small ball hammer, gently tap the first nail in place. Do not hammer all the way. Next do second nail. After both nails are well started, finish by gently hammering all the way.

Bridle Plates come standard with nail and burr and must be attached professionally. Chicago screws are available by request. We also recommend that bridle plates be covered for protection during installation.
